So in December, Anderson's unit acquired a Star Wars gizmo called the Vehicle and Cargo Inspection System (VACIS), which bombards truck containers with gamma rays to produce an incredibly detailed image of what's inside. The VACIS, which takes 45 seconds to scan one trailer, is ideal for finding hidden compartments and has helped Anderson's team find everything from drug stashes to smuggled coconut milk.
